I am very happy to play in Stacy's gallery. She has a very beautiful place to spend some time in. I've chosen about 20, but settled on this one for now.
I have kept slightly the same layout, though I used different colors for the ribbons, watercolored with lavender and yellow and green for the leaves. Used bic for the stem and added some yellow. The tulips if from Deena, she let me stamp a few of them some while ago. thanks sweetie. The sentiment is from Pat Smethers, thanks honey. Sponged the whole gray panel and distressed it.
I made this card for Darla and her family, for sadly, they have lost a friend in the helicopter crash in New-Foundland last week. I just hope all the families can find peace and comfort from their friends and family and yes, some friends they don't know.
Thanks for looking and enjoy.

I have a feeling your photo didnt reall capture the essence of this beautiful card. Love that floral image and ribbons. I am so sorry, though, that it's going to Darla! she'll so appreciate your kindness with thinking about her and her family. That's what makes you special: you're always sending cards. You're always the first to share your creativity with all of us!
